>That's a reservoir - the trees would have been under water and wasted had they not been cut.

Really? I saw quite a few areas like that during my drive, not to mention that if the trees had been growing there for many years before that, why would they be underwater now?

For decades, we have mismanaged the forests..........leveling them for their wood and/or to build reservoirs and lumber towns. Clear cutting is the source of a lot of the mismanagement. Its the easiest and cheapest way to cut down the trees for the lumber companies. However, its very costly to the environment.

Responsible forestry goes in and removes only the very old and diseased trees and lives the younger ones to take their place. Foresters don't like that approach because its more work and more costly. Here's an article that talks about the issue:
